QEMU 'pit_ioport_read()' function memory corruption vulnerability

QEMU is an open source emulator software. QEMU has a memory corruption vulnerability in the pitioportread function, which allows an attacker to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the host...

qemu -- code execution on host machine

Petr Matousek of Red Hat Inc. reports: Due converting PIO to the new memory read/write api we no longer provide separate I/O region lenghts for read and write operations. As a result, reading from PIT Mode/Command register will end with accessing pit-channels with invalid index and potentially...

UBUNTU-CVE-2015-3214

The pitioportread in i8254.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33 and QEMU before 2.3.1 does not distinguish between read lengths and write lengths, which might allow guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS by triggering use of an invalid index...
